Protection, Empowerment, and The Best Possible Outcome
At the Claiborne Firm, our mission is to protect you, relieve the burden associated with your case, and achieve the absolute best possible outcome for your legal matter.
We Are Here For You
Whether you have been injured, getting a divorce, or facing criminal charges, you may feel out of control and powerless. Engaging with us can be like taking a deep breath from what you are going through. Whatever the challenge you are experiencing — and no matter how big of a challenge it represents — we hope the worst day of your legal issue is the day before you contact and hire the Claiborne Firm. Because from that moment on, you are handing over all of your fears, worries, and anxieties about the future to a team of legal professionals that will listen to you and protect you.
You Are as Powerful as The Opposing Side
As attorneys at The Claiborne Firm, we are in a very powerful position. With only a legal pad and pen, we can haul the most powerful people and corporations in the world into a courtroom and have them answer for what they did to you.
If you think about all the protections that we have here in America, most of those protections are there because, at some point, a lawyer took a pen and a legal pad and sued or defended someone in court. When our attorneys meet with a client for the first time, we will be ready with that blank legal pad and pen to begin the personalized plan that your case presents and consider all of the different ways that your case could particularly go. We will then answer questions, give advice, and begin devising the strategy that will produce the legal results and outcomes our clients expect.
Trusted By The Most Authoritative Sources
Confidentially discussing your legal situation with our legal team is the first step toward taking back control of your life and stepping back into your own power and possibilities. After talking with us, you will discover that there are many options available to you, which can help you sleep better tonight.
The Best Preparation Leads to The Best Results
No matter the legal matter, when it comes to winning in a courtroom, the side that knows more about the case is more likely to win. The attorney who has prepared more has a closer relationship with their client, and a better grasp of those facts has a better chance of winning.

We Believe In
Empowering & Educating You
We represent clients during some of the most significant moments of their lives. Empowering our clients with knowledge and education enables you to persevere through times of need. We offer free phone support and case evaluations so people who reach out to The Claiborne Firm are better informed after contacting us.
Lower Case Loads & Personalized Attention
We take on a smaller number of clients and give our clients much more attention than other firms. Where other firms overwhelm themselves with high caseloads, we are dedicated to giving each of our clients the attention they deserve. This leads to better experiences and outcomes.
Communication Is The Key
Each client has the personal cell number of the lawyer representing them. Our kids call us on the same line as our clients. We can only do that because we keep our clients happy and our caseloads low.
Collaborative Brainstorming
Carrying a small number of cases allows us to spend the necessary time brainstorming possible defenses and advocacy strategies to cases. We take clients who have been turned down by every other lawyer they contacted and find creative and effective ways to get them justice.
Technology, Media, & Social Media
When appropriate, we use every facet of the media to pursue justice for our clients. This includes newspapers, news outlets, Google, social media and YouTube. We do this to generate pressure on opponents that leads to settlements or the discovery of valuable information and evidence.
Best Possible Outcome
Our clients have the trust that they will get the best possible outcome.
What We Don’t Do
We Do Not Do Billboards or Commercials
We do not believe in billboards or commercials. Because we take small caseloads, we don’t need to advertise to get as many clients as possible.
We Do Not Carry Large Caseloads
We do not carry large caseloads, which gives us more time to focus on our clients and their case results.
We Do Not Neglect Client Needs
We do not believe in pushing clients off to secretaries and paralegals because their attorney is too busy or in court.
Family Law & Divorce
Whether you are seeking a divorce, child custody, modification, alimony, or any other type of family law matter, The Claiborne Firm will aggressively pursue the outcome that you seek and protect you and your family.
Injury
If you have been injured, The Claiborne Firm will take the immediate steps needed to make certain that you get the best medical care and financial recovery that you deserve.
Our firm has a track record of maximizing the value of personal injury cases.
Mediation
Mediation is the fastest and most cost-effective way to resolve family law or civil matters without going to court. It saves time, reduces expenses, and spares everyone the emotional strain of a trial. Most importantly, it gives you control over the outcome instead of leaving your future in the hands of a judge or jury who doesn’t know you personally.
Criminal Defense
Being charged with a crime might leave you feeling hopeless, but just because you were charged with a crime does not mean you will be found guilty. Whether it is a DUI, drug crime, assault and battery, or any other misdemeanor or felony crime, there are many ways to defend you and have the charges dismissed or reduced. Please read through our recent criminal case wins.
Family Law & Divorce Overview
Perhaps no area of the law is as complex as family law, entailing bitter disputes over financial matters and emotional fights over custody. In order to best protect yourself and your rights to any children or assets, your first call should be to the Claiborne firm. We take a singularly different approach to family law – never backing down from a fight, but not escalating a situation more than it needs. Even if mediation wasn’t a legal requirement in the state of Georgia, we would still recommend it, because it’s here that we help our clients resolve problems with the most efficiency and at the lowest cost to them. We’ll take cases to litigation if we need to, but we will always strive to settle things in mediation first. We will establish interrogatories during discovery, giving you the full facts of your case before it goes to trial. If children are involved, we will schedule temporary hearings to resolve any issues such as interim custody, alimony, temporary possession of the home and responsibility for paying bills while a divorce case moves forward. It’s a strategically aggressive approach that has helped us serve countless clients and create the best resolution when it matters most.

Personal Injury Overview
An injury can have disastrous effects on your life, emotionally and financially. When you’ve been injured, you might think that the insurance company is on your side, ready to help with money you need to get back on your feet. The fact is, unless you protect yourself, they will do whatever it takes to pad their corporate bottom line by paying you as little as possible. Protecting yourself means calling us and putting our proven experience to work for you. It may seem intimidating, suing a large corporation, but it’s the only way to set your life back in order. We bring an approach to your case that the insurance companies can’t match, with preparation that goes deep, ensuring you are paid what you’re entitled to. If you’ve been injured, any delay in filing a lawsuit could give the insurance company the opportunity to downplay the severity of your injuries and reduce what you receive. Call us right away to help attain the compensation you deserve.

Mediation & Alternative Dispute Resolution Services
Mediation offers an enormously empowering alternative to going to court or facing a trial. It allows you to resolve legal disputes without ever stepping into a courtroom and keeps your future in your hands, not in the hands of a judge or jury who doesn’t know you. Mediation is faster, more cost-effective, and completely confidential, helping you avoid the delays, expenses, and public exposure of a trial. It also promotes cooperation and understanding, reducing conflict and creating space for respectful, solution-focused conversations.
At The Claiborne Firm, William Claiborne provides clients with a distinct advantage. As both a seasoned litigator and a certified, impartial mediator, he brings a unique blend of courtroom experience and conflict resolution skills. His approach helps clients build real human connection, reduce conflict, preserve relationships, and avoid the high emotional and financial costs of trial. Fortunately, even if mediation does not fully resolve your matter, it offers valuable insight into how the other party is leaning. Your attorney can then use that information to build a stronger, more strategic case if the matter proceeds to trial.
Criminal Defense Overview
An arrest is so much more than just a night in jail and a court date. It’s so much more than the possibility of prison time. It’s an event that has lasting repercussions, impacting your ability to get a job or a home, and crippling your ability to live your life. When you’ve been arrested, make the Claiborne firm your first call. In some cases, we can make immediate moves to protect your liberty, pleading your case directly with the prosecutor or district attorney to demonstrate the meritless nature of your charges and have them dismissed outright. If charges do move forward, we move faster, with a tried-and-tested method of deep preparation that has helped us successfully defend thousands of clients. We start our independent investigation the moment you meet with us, preserving evidence that will prove vital to your case and tracking down witnesses who can provide testimony and build your case. From there, our exhaustive research will compile every detail your case: police reports, bodycam footage, nearby security camera views, audio files, court documents, test results and everything we can get our hands on that proves your innocence.
